The people behind reported the situation to Cole, who replied with a simple “Good.” He instructed the first–class passengers to move to the economy class. The passengers, now terrified, immediately stood up and rushed to the back. 

Only Elvira, Cole, and his subordinates remained in the first–class cabin. The injured hijacker in front of the cockpit was holding a young girl. Elvira immediately said, “Bring the flight attendants and the captain here!” 

The internal mole had not yet been identified, and Elvira worried about further complications. The men exchanged looks, and two of them quickly went to the economy class to bring the flight attendants. 

The young girl was trembling in fear, crying as she looked at Elvira. “Miss, please save me.” 

Elvira glanced at her but didn’t respond. Instead, her eyes were focused on the two hijackers. “You’re both injured now. If you don’t stop the bleeding, you’ll die. I believe you don’t want that, do you?” 

“Stop talking, you bitch! It’s because of you that our mission failed!” The hijacker holding the young girl shouted, his gun pressing firmly against the girl’s forehead. 

The girl was scared out of her mind. She closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face. 

Elvira said, “This has nothing to do with me. Your target was killed by someone on the ground, and now your mission has failed. There’s no point in arguing.” 

She continued trying to negotiate with the hijackers. “You’re both wounded, so how about I find someone to bandage your wounds first? You can make any demands you want!” 

The hijacker ignored her and called for the last hijacker in the cockpit to open the door. He wanted to go inside. It was safer there. 

Knowing something had gone wrong, the piloting hijacker opened the door with his gun drawn. The injured hijacker dragged the young girl into the cockpit, and Cole seized the opportunity. 

He quickly raised his gun and fired, hitting the hijacker in the shoulder. The young girl, in the chaos, flung herself out. 

Cole rushed to follow and reclaim the cockpit, but the young girl crashed into his arms. The hijacker quickly slammed the door shut. The heavy door was locked, making it nearly impossible to open from the outside. 

Cole immediately pushed the young girl away. Startled, she was roughly shoved, and when she fell, she lost consciousness. 

Elvira saw this scene. 

She quickly walked over to check on the girl. After confirming she was okay but just fainted from shock, she laid her down on a seat and stood up to face Cole. 

Cole, with guilt in his eyes, looked at her. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. If I hadn’t insisted on bringing you on this flight, you wouldn’t have had to go through this.” 

“You said it was dangerous being with Zach, but now being with you is no safer!” Elvira seized the chance to say. 

Cole was speechless. He actually couldn’t refute it. 

“Mr. Bennett, what should we do now?” one of his subordinates asked, their gaze fixed on the closed cockpit door. 1ne two hijackers were inside, and the plane was in their hands. 

They were clueless, not knowing what would happen next. 

Try negotiating,” Cole said, as it seemed there was no other option left.

Elvira was also quite shaken by the events. Now that the immediate danger had passed, she felt utterly exhausted and sat down. 

At that moment, several flight attendants were being guarded. Suddenly, one of them asked, “Are you hijackers too? We’re just flight attendants, why are you watching us?” 

The flight attendants, who were being watched by Cole’s subordinates, spoke up in protest. “Yeah, what’s the meaning of this? Are you trying to hijack the plane too?” 

Elvira and Cole turned to look at the people who were speaking. The flight attendants, now thinking they had been rescued, were speaking rather impolitely. 

“Bind them up, tape their mouths shut. They’re too loud!” Cole instructed, and Archer immediately signaled to have it done. The flight attendants‘ shouting grew louder as if they wanted everyone to know they were also hijackers. 

Archer was mad and fired a warning shot. The flight attendants were startled into silence and obediently allowed themselves to be bound. 

Elvira had been observing them carefully, trying to figure out which one might be the mole among the hijackers. Of course, she hoped it was a misunderstanding, but she didn’t think it was. 

Next, Archer went to negotiate with the two hijackers, asking them what their demands were, anything could be discussed. 

Inside the cockpit. 

The man who had been shot twice was bleeding profusely. His partner was trying to stop the bleeding, but the results were not good. They had no medicine. If this continued, the injured man would surely bleed to death. 

“What do we do now? The mission failed, and the boss is dead, what are we supposed to do next?” The bleeding man panicked, still not wanting to die. 

“I contacted the higher–ups earlier,” the piloting hijacker said, his movements stalling as he applied pressure to the wound. The injured man waited for him to continue, “They told us to crash the plane.” 

The wounded man quickly grabbed his partner’s hand and shook his head. “No, I don’t want to die!” 

“If you don’t want to die, what can we do? Our families are in their hands. We have no choice but to obey,” the piloting hijacker replied angrily. He didn’t want to die either, but his family was in the hands of the higher–ups. 

“How about we surrender and negotiate with the people outsider If they can save our families, we’ll stop listening to our higher–ups,” the injured man said, clutching his partner’s hand tighter. 

His partner frowned, considering the feasibility of what the injured man had suggested. 

“Cormac, I really don’t want to die! The higher–ups aren’t giving us a way out, we have to find one ourselves!” The wounded man looked desperately at his partner. 

Cormac Brock thought for a moment and nodded. He stood up to go and negotiate with the people outside. 

When Archer saw that the two hijackers were willing to negotiate, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
